David Bowie. [videorecording] : from Konrad to Starman 1962-1972 / by Bowie, David.; Smokin',publisher.;
David Bowie.Best known of course for his startling imagery and multiple characters, David Bowie had, for the best part of a decade prior to getting his first big break, been sitting on the margins of the music industry trying everything he could come up with in an attempt to get noticed. This film investigates what happened between the birth of one David Jones in Brixton, London in 1947 and the dawn of his career in music - which began when, at the age of 16, he formed local group The Konrads as saxophonist - and the day when the same young man, by now re-christened David Bowie, first came to the attention of the world at large under his alter-ego Ziggy Stardust in 1972. Featuring rare and exclusive interviews, contributions from those who worked with David during this time, rare film footage, archive material plus news reports, location shoots, rare photographs and much more besides, this intriguing documentary is the finest film yet to emerge on this often forgotten period of Bowie's incredible career.E.DVD ; full screen presentation.

Money : a story of humanity / by McWilliams, David,author.; Lewis, Michael(Michael M.),writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The story of money is the story of our desires, our genius, and our downfalls. Money is power -- and power beguiles. Nothing we've invented as a species has defined our own evolution so thoroughly and changed the direction of our planet's history so dramatically. Money has shaped the very essence of what it means to be human. We can't hope to understand ourselves without it. And yet despite money's primacy, most of us don't truly understand it. As economist David McWilliams states, money is everything. "Money defines the relationship between worker and employer, buyer and seller, merchant and producer. But not only that: it also defines the bond between the governed and the governor, the state and the citizen. Money unlocks pleasure, puts a price on desire, art and creativity. It motivates us to strive, achieve, invent and take risks. Money also brings out humanity's darker side, invoking greed, envy, hatred, violence and, of course, colonialism." Money isn't just paper or coins or virtual currency. Money is humanity. Leading economics expert, David McWilliams answers these questions and more in Money, an epic, breathlessly entertaining journey across the world through the present and the past, from the birthplace of money in ancient Babylon to the beginning of trade along the silk road to China, from Marrakech markets to Wall Street and the dawn of cryptocurrency. By tracking its history, McWilliams uncovers our relationship with money, transforming our perspective on its impact on the world right now. McWilliams is no dusty economist; he is a communicator at the highest level, a highly telegenic and marketable expert who is as comfortable in front of a large audience talking about his favourite subject as he is appearing on podcasts, social media, and even in stand-up comedy. He's been called Ireland's most important economist and is ranked among the leading economists working today. The story of money is the story of earth's most inventive, destructive, and dangerous animal: Homo sapiens. It is our story."--
